This apartment has an excellent location five meters far from Santa Ana Square. Definitely it is one of the most important meeting points in Madrid. Its surroundings are the famous Huertas street, heart of Las Letras quarter, place that housed during centuries the bohemian and intellectual life in Madrid. Nowadays the neighborhood has a strong identity, and its literary past keeps written on the walls and floors of the streets, where you can read famous pieces of Larra, Cervantes, Góngora or Lope de Vega, among other genius of Spanish Literature.

It’s a charming experience to stroll around Huertas quarter, traditional corner with the typical castiza atmosphere from Madrid, with its narrow streets and old squares full of restaurants, pubs, taverns and bars to enjoy a drink with fiends. That’s why this area is one of the main meeting points of young and olds, locals and visitors, during day and nighttime. Is a wonderful sensation to sit in one of the many taverns on the area or taste a traditional Spanish meal in any of the restaurants around.

The neighborhood is situated next to Paseo del Prado, an avenue with century-old trees where the most important museums and art galleries are located: Prado Museum, Thyssen-Bornemisza, Caixa Forum and Reina Sofía Art Gallery in Atocha, In addition to many small art galleries around.

The apartment has a capacity for two people, it has a bedroom with bathroom en suite and a double bed with a small balcony overlooking an Inner courtyard. The living room has no windows, but it provides a warm interior lighting. It has a futon sofa and an open-plan kitchen equipped with al the necessary items, in addition to a small toilet.

Perfect contact and fast reply.
Flat in the city center - brilliant location.
Flat is very dark, one 'internal' window in bedroom, non in living room.
In general, I recommend it for short touristic/business stay (1-2 days) up to 4 persons.

Thank you for the quick response time before and perfect timing when I just arrived to hand in the keys. I felt so comfortable staying at your apartment. The only small thing that I could mention is that the bed was a bit squeaky. Other than that everything was perfect. Thanks again.

The details:
Great central city location near wonderful restaurants and plazas. There are two baths, a bedroom, a low couch and chair in the living room, and a small but very amply stocked kitchen (pans, dishes, even some basic staples eg. salt and oil on hand). Washing machine but no detergent handy. Very secure location and door, heat but no a/c, windows open on a small central stairwell so no view and not great airflow, thus it was a bit warm. The bed was quite squeaky, but comfortable enough.

We met Teresa when we arrived, she was very friendly, left us the keys and to our own devices, which was great. The number on the building is missing the second digit (the 6), so I had some difficulty finding it, but she came down to the street and found me. Overall, great communications and interactions with the host.
